Calling all Scrap Blogs!!! Check this out!!!

Are you a scrapper? Project Life Scrapbooker?
So am I!  You should check out Paper Phenomenon's blog!  She has great scrapbook craft classes every week, so she is in need of a special blog with "stores" to sell her Tutorials, Kits and Trinkets!
Per her request, she has a special 'store' to list her items for sale through Paypal.

She has a been a client for almost a year now and chose the Business Pro pack so I could handle all her needs of Facebook, Paypal, Blogs, Twitter and business cards. Everything was styled to her taste and personal request.  She has full control of what she wants for her blog.  She was known for her "queen" crown so I designed this header/logo, personally for her to reflect her girly, fun-loving, sweet personality.
Check her out@ www.paperphenomenon.com !!  You will love her blog and her classes.

PaperPhenomenon.com

She has so  many great goodies throughout her site to look at!  Her special shopping cart logo, blog buttons, special photo overlays (sold-out), and more!!!

 

Is Your Blog or Facebook Ready for Summer??

Is your blog ready for summer?
How about a SPECIAL DISCOUNT for a UPDATED BLOG or NEW BLOG!?!?!

I'm excited to finally have updated the store to reflect the new name!!
JenWrightDesigns.com is the home of my scrapbook blog and JenWrightDesigns.com - Design Services will be this blog for blog/design services as they were with TheBlogCafe.org.

I will be retiring TheBlogCafe.org and the new name will just be JenWrightDesigns  You will be able to find me through my main blog and here.

I am going to be adding a "Store" that will carry both designs and scrapbook supplies.  We currently have a business called Peas & Pickles Supply (www.peasandpicklessupply.com) where you are able to find all our products we have for sale at this time, so please stop by!

I'm hoping to close eBay and etsy stores and just host in one place on JenWrightDesigns.com for a one-stop shop!  In doing this, I can lower my prices (because of etsy and ebay fees) and also offer more repeat customer discounts. YAY!

Check out my portfolio to see some latest work I've been doing!

Each week, the hop will have a different theme. Once we have rotated through them all, we will begin again. This is FACEBOOK week! The themes and order are as follows:

Email (subscribe) - Week 4

Alexa (follow and/or review) - Week 5

We realize that not every blogger will have every type of account. So, we're letting you know now in case you want to make any additions before a specific hop begins. Of course, participation in any given week is optional. But, we hope you'll be able to join us in the neighborhood every week!

We all maintain family-friendly sites; therefore, we kindly request that you keep that in mind when you place a link in our hop. Please be honest with yourself - and us - in assessing whether or not your site is an overall good fit for our hop. We appreciate it!

Please join us this week for our FACEBOOK hop. Please add ONLY your Facebook link. Please follow all 3 hosts via Facebook and, as a courtesy to other participants, please follow at least 2 additional new Facebook accounts.

We’d love it if you would place the button to the Blog Hop somewhere on your page, whether it’s on your sidebar, a “Blog Hops” page, or a separate post. Please help us support this blog hop.

Remember:

Family Friendly blogs/sites ONLY.

This week is for FACEBOOK; please do not link to your blog!

Follow your hosts. Do NOT link, if you are not going to follow! We *will* delete you.

To be fair to other participants, please follow at least 2 additional Facebook accounts.

Please consider helping us spread the word by posting the blog button, tweeting, etc.

Have fun this week discovering new pages!
